Visualizing Data

So often, in higher ed, we are surrounded by pages of data that we are supposed to make sense of.  When I am looking for data to prove a point I am drawn to visuals more than tables of numbers.

In this week's assignment we were to find some data and represent it visually using one of the data visualization tools in the lab. 

I was disappointed to find several of the items on the list had either broken links or the programs just did not work for me.. but was also happy to see that many of the tools on the list are part of my regular repetoire. 

I decided to play with some that I have not used before and found my way to ConceptDraw which was a pretty cool draw program much like SmartDraw or Visio... 

I then wandered down to Cinecopa... which offered a number of tools to enhance your websites, from adding videos, to podcasts, slide shows or picture gallaries... pretty cool, but the best tools require a sign up.

I finally ended up at scribbus and did my visualization with that tool.  Very flexible design and layout tool.

The visualization is a representation of our 1:1 iPad rollout... enjoy!
